Is there anything factually incorrect in the Wikipedia entry?
- renditioned 7y agoOne can never be sure given that Wikipedia articles are open for anyone to edit (it's interesting to note that there's a tremendous amount of controversy over whether these atrocities indeed happened, and that Britannica did not even have a single article on it). Regardless of the factual accuracy of any assertion, it's always important to point out when nefarious motives are behind it. Analogy: suppose every time a black person commits a crime the city newspaper publishes it and every time a white person does the same the newspaper does not cover it. Then the newspaper cannot be criticized on grounds of inaccuracy, for nothing it said is untrue. But obviously it can still be criticised for nefarious motives

- NeedMoreTea 7y agoThe Rape of Nanking, and Imperial Japan's actions, not just of Unit 731, in the war are well recorded and cited fact. Talking about it is "nefarious motives"? What nefarious motives are there to remind of a particularly dark period of Japanese history? Pre-revolutionary China was disproportionately a victim of Japan's actions in the 1930s and 1940s. That should be remembered, not taken as cause to make ridiculous claims of psychological manipulation.
